A brand-new interview

with *dreamarian

"I grow with every piece I do. I'm not successful every time either. I'm never sure if the drawing I'm busy with will be a success, so it's always a struggle to get the image in my head onto paper. Drawing is never boring."

Member of the Month



Every month, we will select one of our members who - in our opinion - deserves to be in the spotlights because of their talent and skills. This member will be featured on our home page until the start of the new month.






:spotlight-left: On The Spot

:bulletred: Who is your all-time favorite celebrity and why?
I have to choose Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park! There is something special about him!

:bulletred: Would you like to be a celebrity yourself?
Hmmm… good question. Sometimes yes, sometimes no… I think being a celeb has both advantages and disadvantages. But I think all of us sometimes dream and wonder of how it would feel to become a famous celebrity!

:bulletred: Who is your favorite celebrity to draw and which celebrity's portrait would you never draw?
Jessica Alba is definitely my favorite celebrity to draw! She is just perfect! And I would probably never draw a portrait of Tila Tequila; she is one celebrity who constant cries for attention! And I don't like that sort of people.

:bulletred: Which talent that you don't have, is the one you wished you had?
For some reason, I have wished my whole life that I was able to sing. My singing voice is terrible! I feel sorry for those who sometimes have to hear my singing voice. :lol:

:bulletred: Which type of art do you prefer?
Black-and-white digital portraits! No doubt!

:bulletred: Have you ever tried out a particular type of art and failed miserably?
Hahaha, yeah… It was a homework assignment when I went to art school. We were commissioned to paint a landscape with oils. I have to admit, I HATE to draw or paint anything with nature. My teacher never got to see the finished result, and perhaps he was lucky that I never showed the painting because otherwise he would probably have been crying. :lol:

:bulletred: Who or what influenced you to start drawing?
Well, I have painted ever since I was a small kid. But I think it really took off when I started to watch the kid cartoons like Pokemon, Sailor Moon, and so on.

:bulletred: Describe your creative process to the readers (e.g., how do you choose a subject, how do you start a portrait, what keeps you focused, how do you know when to call a portrait done, etc.).
Hmm… Before I start with a portrait, it's always nice to feel that you have inspiration! The inspiration can be anything! A celebrity from a movie I recently watched, a celebrity magazine, or a character from a video game! Sometimes it's hard to stay focused on the same drawing, but then I have to take a break, and try to go back to the source of the inspiration.
I can't really answer how I know when a portrait is finished. It is just something you feel. When I'm feeling proud of what I see, then it's done!

:bulletred: What is the last movie you saw?
"Silence Of The Lambs"! Great movie!

:bulletred: Which song or album can't you stop listening to at the moment?
Linkin Park's new single "Burn It Down"! Can't wait for their new album! :)

Hello, and than you for accepting me as a member. I withdrew my first submission whilst it was still under consideration as I thought I had more appropriate work to put forward. However, I can't seem to find a way of submitting new artwork. Could you please advise?

Hey Everybody!!

It has been just one day since i asked you to fave my pic: [link]
As I asked you to do this I had 96 faves. By Now, after only 1 day, there are 153 faves!!

First of all:

I never thought that I will get that much reply from you! Thanx very much for that!

The second thing is, that:

I thought of even more faves! If this pic can get in only one Day 57 faves than it could get in 10 days 570 faves.

And this is my new target!

Let's try to make it! Tell all your friends about it! Every fave gets a llama!


!!!YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!!
